Ghost Manor

When you enter the Ghost Manor, you're destination is in the Northwest corner of the Manor. However, the Manor is setup like a maze. To successfully navigate the manor AND get all the treasure, read on.

From the entrance, walk all the way to the right. This will gain you a Holy Water.
Now, walk back and take the North path, just above the entrance. This leads to a chest holding an Angel's Tear.
Now, walk back to the entrance, and now head all the way to the left and then turn North. You will find 302 S in the chest here.
After collecting the 302 S, walk back, take your first right, and then the first North hallway. This will lead you to a chest that holds a Star Light.
Keep walking right from this point until the path runs North and South. Head North and just after the path turns East, you'll have the choice to go North or continue East.
If you go east, You can grab an Herb from a chest.
Take the North path and this will lead you to a chest holding another Star Light.
Once you get the Star Light, heal up and save your game, and change your battle order so that Jean is on the far left in the middle and everyone else is evenly lined up on the far right from top to bottom before taking the North path into the red-carpeted room.

     Magic Tester LX1 has 3 forms and has 4 attacks. The Bubble Spit Attack can be used in subsequent forms, so keep that in mind. The first form (pictured at the left) has 1100 HP, the 2nd form has 900 HP and the 3rd has 700. The 1st form only has 2 attacks. The first attack is Bubble Spit. It uses this on 1 ally doing small damage but possibly putting the victim to sleep. Expect this when it's mouth is opening and closing through out all 3 forms. Attack #2, can be identified when the windup key on it's back is spinning. It's about to use a Physical Attack hitting 1 character with it's drum, causing serious damage. The 2nd form yields Attack #3. Attack #3 is a head splitting Jump Attack against 1 character for serious damage and anyone in range of the shock blast for moderate damage. Expect this when it's NOT moving at all. Form 3 yields Attack #4, Echo Wave . This seems to cause Straight Line damage, but normally everyone WILL get hit for serious damage.

     The Magic Tester can be a tough fight, but you really shouldn't have any troubles. Here's what to do: Hiro should use Boomerang every round. Ronfar should cast Saint Litany on Jean, and then heal everyone up there after if needed, otherwise, use Anger Dice. Jean should use Moth Dance. Lucia, don't really count on her for anything unless she gets hit by the Magic Tester. In which case, she'll unleash Plasma Rain causing decent damage.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you lay waste to the Magic Tester, you'll find that the Hooded Lady is actually Lemina Ausa, Junior Premier of the Vane Magic Guild. And while she's mega annoyed (:P) about you trashing her robot, she's happy to see that SOMEONE passed her test, and hence she joins your party since Vane is on the way. Kewl. ^^

Exit the Manor from the North side of the room and walk West to the Cliff. Lemina yanks out a magic carpet, but unfortunately her concentration gets ruined and after a rather nasty fall, you're at the bottom of the cliff.
Heal up at the Statue and walk West to Bandit Butte.
